Day 2

The next morning. Up at 8am with cold toes and a cold nose.  Started hiking up towards the Dent Barme. We got to about 2550m then Thierry decided he was going to boot hike.  Unfortunatlely he dropped half of his slpit board whilst taking off the skins so we didnt get all the way to the top but it was a nice ski down for me and a walk of shame down for Thierry.  Then we made our way back up to the Col de Comba Mornay and had a great ride all the way back down to Grand Paradis :)

To finish….. feet up, beer down :)

Just arrived home from a really cool two-day hike. A little mini expedition to have some extra fun and see some more of the mountians!

Day 1

We left at 8am Wednesday morning and hiked (some part on ski, some on foot) from Grand Paradis (1055m) up to the top of ‘Comba Mornay’  (2735m).

At the top we had some grub and a drink, got our breath back and had a great run down the other side all the way to Les Ottans (1932). Then from the bottom hiked the last little part up to the cabin Susanfe (2102m)

When we finally arrived, which seemed like forever we had some cheese and crackers, a beer which tasted so, SO amazing.  Then proceded to cut fire wood for the stove to melt pots of snow so we could make some tea and cook pasta.

Couple of pics from today. If you look closely at one you can see skiers at the top.

Here’s some pictures from my week in Verbier. Day one at the top of our hike. Day 3 we skied a cool little resort near Verbier with about 4 lifts and came across about 2 groups of people all day!! Very surreal.

What a crackin day :) Caught a few cool pics. One of a plane flying lower than us which is always a novelty.  Then another of The sloth and the Jew hiking up to a small peak.

Maggie´s Royal Miler in all its glory by the lake in Montreux, Switzerland.

Apart from riding along the lake with this gorgeous view all day long, I also gave Rebecka a small treasure hunt. Involving clues and puzzling poems to solve along the way which eventually led to her finding an engagement ring and me getting down on one knee on the rocks.

A very eventful day indeed!  Which was then followed by an eivening of champagne and drunken speaches from our friends on the stage in the bar! :)

Apres ski.
